hooooboy, here comes yet another comment where i'm already laughing at myself before even starting it.

first of all! you are reading my mind, which is neat. i was just going on and on to my mom today (my poor mom. she will regret ever getting curious about the show.) about how i want dream sequences on the show---not visions, dreams with things that don't make sense (but do) like Dean on an impala-horse and dragons. (have you ever read The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley? it's one of my favourite childrens' fantasy books ever, and this reminded me of it in the best possible way. gosh. dragons. i'm wagging my tail over here for sure.) so---whether or not this is a dream or not---you made the sort of strange imagery that i was thinking of work just beautifully. i just want to quote everything back at you like "and this bit worked, and so did that, and just the rhythm of the words here is so weird, all urgent and distant at once, which is all just as it should be, and i love the salt-lance and that John told them to wear dark or neutral colours and the old woman who reminds of the Fates in Sandman (who Neil Gaiman sort of stole from Lloyd Alexander's Prydain books, and those books are all pieced together from different European mythologies...), and aslkdfj Dean seeing his own heart, and Better you than anybody else." ♥

...i don't know when i started saying "gosh" without irony. which is worrying, but sort of not to the point. the point, of course, is that this is fabulous.

I was really afraid of this one - so weird and convoluted and bizarre. I wrote it in my novel after 1900 class, while we were talking about the women knitting in black and I felt out of it, all dream and weird.

I haven't read The Hero and the Crown, but it's on my to-read list now.

Thank you thank you. ♥♥♥ and I'm so so pleased that you picked up on the fates reference - it was the first part written and everything else is about that. I'm so ridiciously pleased that you like it. ♥

heee. gosh♥

oh, i remember that feeling of sitting in class all bleary and detatched, and your mind just latches on to something and runs with it. i wrote so many mental-fics in classes and between my school and the subway stop. i'm glad you write yours down, because i love reading them.

also, i'm doing some poking around on Stanford's website (...i can't believe it's taken me like, eight months to get around to it, haha), and they've actually got a course listed (bafflingly, listed under art/art history) called "Cyborgs and Synthetic Humans," which reminded me fondly of your Stanford fic. ♥

Really? ♥ I have this sudden urge to take a look at their admissions pages. I wonder if they'll experience a rise in undergrad applications. :)

I'll keep writing them for you. ♥

...you know, the way Stanford gets used as a plot point (in EVERYTHING, from Supernatural to Veronica Mars to Felicity to Full House, for god's sake), you would think it's the only college in California. now, of course, i associate it with demons who pin people to the ceiling and light them on fire.

i was actually looking at their website to try and find out about the layout of their computer labs, because my brain provided me with the idea that Sam used to work in one, while studying and listening to Neutral Milk Hotel, and that occasionally someone who looked vaguely like Dean would pop by to give him a heart attack and let him know that the printer was out of paper. anyway, their computer labs are totally not set up the way my brain wanted them to be, and now i've exorcised the plot bunny by telling you! it's been a productive lunch break, for sure.

seriously, it makes my whole day when something you've written pops up on my flist, so ♥, infinitely.

I think it's the name Something about Stanford sounds so academic, so educated. I think they did a good job with their marketing, or something. :)

... and i'm going to have to write that for you know. oh boy. ♥

also: thank you♥♥♥
